Regrets
This is what I regret. I got my boy up for school before I left this morning. After I did my first loop, I hollered at my house to see if he was still there. Of course nobody heard me or saw me, but I knew it was getting time for him to leave for the bus. I went around the block and looked down the golf course where I know he likes to cut through. I saw some steam or smoke coming up from the grass a ways off. Knowing my pyro son I immediately started thinking the worst. But instead of checking it out, I kept going. As I rounded the curve I saw my boy walking to the bus stop. That's when I regretted not going to see what it was. My wife's going to be mad when she reads this because she doesn't like my guilty until proven innocent approach with him. I tried to catch him off his guard by asking him what he did on the golf course. "I walked on it." Then I went for the throat, "Did you light anything on fire???" "NO." I guess I'll never know if it was a fizzling firecracker or just a some warm water causing steam to rise in the cool air.
This is what I don't regret. I told allie yesterday that if the Twix Bar that I've seen the last two days was still there this morning, I would eat it. Dang it all if it wasn't still there. Well, I'm a man of my word. Blech. It was all stale tasting. It wasn't too bad once the stale cookie went down and the chocolate and chewy caramel remained. It started to remind me of the Power Bars I ate on my long run last week. Below is the actual wrapper it was in.
The bad thing was that I ate it at mile 3.5. The drinking fountain isn't until mile 7.0.
On a healthier note, at the time I posted mile mileage this morning, I was #6 on the mileage board. That's never happened this far into the week before.
Notice how only three of us don't have more than 1000 miles for the year. Time - 1:30:20 (8:55 avg.) Splits - 8:46, 8:37, 8:41, 8:53, 8:55, 8:57, 9:01, 9:05, 9:06, 9:10, 1:11 for 0.13 (8:55 pace)
